In most settings, Dwarves are presented as the masters of technology and humans as the generalist jack-of-all trades race, but sport a high number of fighters.

Spiders are a magical species. They tend to be mages and create magical empires. They make some of the best wizards there are.

In most editions of the game after 2e, Wizards were the most powerful class, with priests and druids competing for top slot.

Spiders are also in tune with nature. They have lots of druids. And they have gods for magic and nature, meaning they have lots of priests, too.

They aren't just predators living in magic trees; they're actually a race designed to gravitate toward the most overpowered classes there are. Next to godlike magic power, technology and good fighters are worthless.

This effectively means that Spiders are actually the most powerful of the traditional races, by far. If they wanted to, they could probably wipe everyone else out.

>>17384689Oh GOD YES! HNNNNNNNGI just wish everybody else could see that Spider culture is superior to everything here in the vertebrae world. I mean EVERYTHING! The arts and culture, the web-making, the comedy, the looks, the traditions, the Spideryness, the food, EVERYTHING. Why are they so much better than the rest of us!!!!!??

So, I know this is a Blue board and everything, but you guys gotta get some of this. I have never seen so much Dat Opisthosoma in one place. I came buckets. There's a totally legit dating profile there. IT WORKS GUISE!

You are wandering through the woods and you run across a dwarf. He has a leash, connected to a collar being worn by a hot SPIDER girl. Her entire carapace is writhing with young, showing her fertility.

She shows clear signs of being mistreated. When the dwarf wanders away to gather firewood, you approach. She says the Dwarf has enslaved her, and she promises certain... favors in exchange for her release.

I would talk to the dwarf to get his side of the story. Depending on what I hear, I will either leave them be, or beat the dwarf down and release the spidergirl. Of course, I'm not going to have sex with her. I mean, jesus. She's a spidergirl. Covered in baby spiders. Fuck that shit.

That’s it. I’m sick of all this “Masterwork Scorpion” bullshit that’s going on in the d20 system right now. Spiders deserve much better than that. Much, much better than that.I should know what I’m talking about. I myself commissioned a genuine spider in Australia for 2,400,000 Australian dollars (that’s about $20,000) and have been practicing with it for almost 2 years now. I can even spin webs of high quality with my spider.Australian wranglers spend years working on a single spider and train it up to a million times to produce the finest strands known to mankind.Spiders are thrice as scary as European daddy longlegs and thrice as tough for that matter too. Anything a tick can scare, a spider can scare better. I’m pretty sure a spider could easily frighten a neckbeard going to the bathroom with a simple jump onto their face.Ever wonder why medieval Europe never bothered conquering Australia? That’s right, they were too scared to fight the disciplined Aborigines and their spiders of destruction. Even in World War II, German soldiers targeted the men with the spiders first because their killing power was feared and respected.So what am I saying? Spiders are simply the best arachnid that the world has ever seen, and thus, require better stats in the d20 system. Here is the stat block I propose for Spiders:(Arachnid) 1d12 Damage 19-20 x4 Crit +2 to hit and damage Counts as Masterwork(Arachnid) 2d10 Damage 17-20 x4 Crit +5 to hit and damage Counts as MasterworkNow that seems a lot more representative of the cutting power of Spiders in real life, don’t you think?tl;dr = Spiders need to do more damage in d20, see my new stat block.

>>17384866Heh, you forgot to say "biting" instead of cutting, but good enough. 6/10 seeing as we where all waiting for this.Unrelated to spiders, but where the hell did that first post come from, anyway? The katana one, I mean?

Shit's pretty cash, but I'm having a little difficulty getting my head around her short lifespan. She promises that at least 1000 of our spawn will marry me after she passes, but that kind of weirds me out.

>>17384905We really must get our name out there, the only people who come here are those fellows that stroll strangely. I can't recall how many times I've had to say "This is the ministery of silly, your looking for the building next door." I mean how many people can have outrageous gaits!

Spiders changes /tg/ from white knightery to sexaddict just by looking at their 8 eyes. And that is why they are the best living things in the whole world. I personally want to go spider hunting and instead of keeping them in a plastic box, I would let them take over my spare room just because they are awesome. > the room also feature a outdoor section

You're not helping either. Can't expect them to integrate properly into modern society if they keep doing things like that. Next thing you know, the governments are just gonna reinstate the ghettos for them and bind half of their limbs just to be on the safe side. Nobody wants to admit it, but they don't want web-spinners near their children.

See, that's the thing. You're the one doing the compromise here, submitting yourself to their culture and forgetting your own. That's a shame. I have no qualms with spider-folk or their half-breeds (I use the term loosely, not in a offensive manner), but please do not inflict on me and my family your political correctness.

You are a little spider. You and your mother have lived in this empty can as long as you remember. Unfortunately, you are too big now, and your mother has new children she has to take care of, so she kicked you out of the can.

You are inside some sort of shed. A breeze of fresh air is coming from the nearby tube. You also hear locomotion outside the door.

Thou the urge to devour your mother is strong, she is far larger than you. Even though you were able to surprise her, it is doubtful that you could kill her. Your SPIDER CUNNING advises against attacking her.

That sounds like an adventure!First though you need to find a way out of this shed.>>17386081>>17386085You separate the head, wings and legs from the fly.>>17386083You do not know if you are able to communicate with flies, and you are unable to try it on this on, as it is already dead and dismembered.

>>17386130You try real hard to mutate yourself some wings, but it seems that your arachnid biology is unwilling to change so drastically all the sudden. Seems like you'll have to do with just your amazing jumping skills.

You also realize how near your new web is uncomfortably close to your original home. If your mom is on a bad mood, she might eat you. You decide that it is high time to get some more space around you, so you go and investigate the tube, and the fresh air coming from it.

The creature is something you have never seen before. It lifts its foremost segments to air as it emerges from the tube. It's countless little legs waggling in the air, the whip like antenna slowly waving around, as if they were trying to smell something. Between it's large pincers emerges a quiet hiss.

You attempt to befriend the strange creature by offering it your web sack containing the fly bits.The creature is not interested.It lunges towards you, it's pincers open wide, and slams to the spot you were just before, crushing your web sack. Your SPIDER AGILITY managed to save you from this attack.This monster doesn't want to be your friend.

>>17386504Not to use, to get a surveyence of the surrounding area, I can assume we're a jumping spider so we have the capability to jump to it, and we have a neurotoxin but we might not be able to pierce the centipedes exo-armour so we need to trap it somehow juming spiders arent usually webspinners though as the use the spinnerette to make a tether for when they jump just in case the fall short.

>Spider thread on /v/ yesterday.>Find out about wandering spider>Venom gives you a boner>A painful boner>Your boner could break for ever because of this spider> Brazil confirmed for worse than Australia.>Huehuehuehuehuehue

I think I will end this here, for now at least. It is almost 2 am here in Finland, and I am already sleep deprived.I might continue this some other day, as there is still much that can happen to our little spider, seeing as we are still inside that goddam shed. Assuming of course that there is enough interest for continuation.But for now, I will cease drawing. If there is any input you would like to give, or questions, I'll answer them briefly before going to sleep.

Fucking greatest quest in a while./tg/, do you know if its possible to own a jumping spider as a pet, without keeping it in a terrarium? I'd love to have one of those cute spiders just chilling on some furniture, but I'm afraid that if I did that it would just die.

>>17387804>>17387820>>17387832Thanks, and happy new year to you too.This was my first quest, and seeing it turn out this well is encouraging. I was worried that I might draw too slowly to keep peoples interest up.

>>17387838I might do that. I still have over a week of holiday vacation before my final half of school starts, so I have plenty of free time. I have also wanted to make this quest for a long time, this thread was just a convenient excuse. Fear not, i will try to continue this quest some time next week. Probably Tuesday or Wednesday, as I have to to read to one exam that is on Tuesday.

Oh, I forgot to mention the time when I will most likely continue.Considering that the time difference between my country and 4chan server time is 7 hours, to get the same people on board, I'll have to start these threads quite late in my time, so they will not be those day long running things, as I'll have to sleep at some point.

So you may expect me somewhere between 10.00-14.00 and I will then run the quest as long as I can, until I am too tired.
